    The man puts a mean ass card together, and he doesn't shield his fighters like GBP and Top Rank do.

    Alexander-Kotelnik
    Cloud-Johnson
    Spinks-Bundrage

    is a better card than anything TR has put together this year so far, and IMO better than the GBP Diaz-Marquez card(because it's not on shitty PPV for ****ing 50 dollars, plus a better main event).

    :deal

    Don King is 110 years old, but he still remains the number 1 boxing promoter in the world! With GBP in the mix, that places Arum somewhere around number 4-5.

    so why do people hate Don King? because he ****s the fighters instead of the fans? You can't ever win with these boxing fan kids.

    well obvious connections to organized crime, allegedly cheated tyson out of a couple mil, just being fraudulent and a blatant thug

    Well, he's definitely shielding Valuev from Vitali.

    Funny how most of the fighters that Don does bad seem to see it his way later in life.

    Valuev was offered what would have been his largest payday ever. Fact.

    I guess Valuev was dealing with absolutes. I am going to get my ass kicked. Question is how much I will be getting paid for it. :lol:

    Larry Holmes once said he made more money being screwed by Don King than he could ever have made being treated right by other promoters.
